This is the story of a man who chose love over power, yet the one thing he treasured slipped through his fingers. Thaddeus Volkov, once a malicious dictator, and once a king. Thaddeus had fought with life till his last breath. He was a walking shell of his former self, and what made it worse was he was gifted with immortality.

Devika White, the adopted daughter of a billionaire. She was one of four foster children, with different ethnicities under one roof. Being the youngest out of four made her life tiresome, from having no one to being the star child of a wealthy couple known for their surname and eco-friendly tech company.
The young woman was the brought sunshine to the world. However, like vultures, she only received hatred and criticism.

Unhappy about her life, she was forced to tuck herself away and become aloof to everyone, including herself.

What will happen when the immortal Thaddeus Volkov steps into the light, rescuing her from her distress? Will she be swayed by his chivalry or his old money way of speaking? Or will the pain in her heart swallow her whole and force her to end it all with one slice?
